JANE AND DORMAN STEIN ESTATE GIFT
WILL BENEFIT STUDENTS!
Jane Brundige Stein was a loyal DKG member initiated in 1962, and Dorman, her husband, supported her membership and her work as a teacher with thirty-four years of service in the Marion City School District. Jane was a member of Eta Chapter until the chapter dissolved in 2004. Jane then transferred her membership to Iota Chapter, and maintained her membership until her death in 2015. Dorman, a Navy veteran and retired Ohio State Patrolman, supported Jane by attending chapter meetings with her.
In accordance with their will, the Steins bequeathed money from their estate to Eta Chapter. They designated that the money would be used for the Jane Brundige Stein Scholarship/Grant awarded to Marion County students in education and/or nursing at the Ohio State University Marion Branch.
OSO and ADSOEF worked cooperatively for nearly two years to realize this gift. The case was complicated due to the fact that Eta Chapter was dissolved at the time of the death of both Jane and Dorman Stein, and no successor was named in the will. With the support of legal counsel, OSO and ADSOEF furnished documents, attended court hearings, and provided necessary information to reach the successful outcome and receive the gift from the Stein estate.
The Stein’s major gift will support aspiring educators and nurses now and well into the future. Jane Brundige Stein’s dedication to education, her devotion as a teacher, and her commitment to help others is a legacy that will be celebrated each time a student receives an award in her memory.
OSO and ADSOEF are grateful for the opportunity from the support of the Stein bequest to assist more deserving students.
Both members and nonmembers are eligible to receive this award. Applications for the Jane Brundige Stein Scholarship/Grant are available on the ADSOEF and OSO websites.
